Fossil’s newest smartwatch can actually take iPhone voice calls
One of the highlights of Fossil's fifth-generation Wear OS smartwatch, which the company unveiled Monday morning, is a feature meant to appeal to Apple users that's also a first for a Wear OS by Google device.
The new watch, which Fossil is calling the Gen 5, will include a proprietary app later this fall (not at the watch's launch, unfortunately) which will allow iPhone users to answer tethered calls. Which of course may be attractive especially to iPhone users who don't yet own an Apple Watch -- and which would likewise potentially preclude them from buying one in the future if they spring for Fossil's device.
